Northern lights in Varanger

Far from light pollution, with polar night from late November to mid-January — some of the best conditions in the country for seeing the northern lights.

Vadsø and Varanger lie well away from the light pollution that spoils the northern lights in so many other places. From a guided hunt by car to a relaxed dinner sail with one eye on the sky, there are several ways to experience the northern lights in the region.
